Got this brass armadillo at the estate sale of a sweet lady that passed away recently here in town.

dh66, that is a Lady's Gillette that uses regular double edge blades. They are excellent, well-balanced shaver for anyone.

Thanks for the info! I wondered if it might very been a ladies model, but then I thought...heck, it's blue. AND it's got to see starbursts. That's what really grabbed me. I normally use a Merkur about the same size, so I could tell it would be a good one.

dh66, they made those in blue, pink and champagne colors. If you have a big hand, that long handle is sweet to use.

Homemade quilt for $7, and a practically new pair of 501 Levis in my size.

Not a flea-market find, but rather, an auction-house win. Nobody else bid on these, and so I got them cheap...

They are a pair of solid sterling silver chained chopsticks and rest.

Got them about a week ago

"Brass armadillo" It sounds like a double entendre but I'm not sure what for.

Prehaps you're thinking of 'brass monkey'

Found in the ARF thrift store, Southampton, NY... Elkington & Co. silver coffee server marked "Mirage R.Y.S." - perhaps from a service for the Marquis of Ormonde's steam yacht Mirage. Ormonde was Vice Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron in the early1880s - the Commodore was the Prince of Wales Albert Edward, later to become King Edward VII. At least I think so...

print in the collection of the Royal Maritime Museum, Greenwich.

Paint By Number Jesus.

A flood of memories just overtook my poor little brain. Can't tell you how many times I went over to a new friends house back in the 60s, only to be greeted by one of the many paint by number Jesus's!

Now THAT'S a lamp!

It took a bit of elbow grease to rid this beauty of half-a-century of dust and dirt but it was worth it. A $15 thrift store find from yesterday.

That power conditioner is just too good to be true. Excellent fine!
